About a year ago, my dad started having pain in his right shoulder. He went to the doctor. As a family we didn't really know what to expect. At all... They took some x-rays and did various tests. They found a cyst in his shoulder. That would explain his pain. W found the results a few weeks later. Cancer was a possibility... This shocked us all. My first instinct was to think, "How will we make it if we don't have our dad? Was it going to change our lives forever?" results He couldn't do much with his arm at all. I was scared. I didn't want to have to go through all the thoughts of losing my dad. "Not now. No God! No!"
As weeks turned into months, we still didn't know if it was cancer. All we knew was there was something in his arm and it had to come out. He debated surgery. We talked about it as a family. He sought a second opinion. He started seeing the chiropractor and despite the pain, he pulled through. The second doctor came to a conclusion: NO CANCER! We were beyond thrilled at the thought of this not being a life threatening situation! How tough that would have been! I thank God for letting this come into my family's life at just the right time. He knew what was going to happen. We didn't. We let God drive. My dad now has full range of motion back in his arm and we really enjoy all the sport activites we have been able to enjoy since his recovery! Oh and by the way, the cyst turned out to be a hard calcium deposit in his arm he had had since he was a kid... Praise God!
